Let’s face it, twin pregnancy can be uncomfortable. Our growing belly combined with swelling ankles and roller coaster hormones for 9 long months is enough to drive any sane person mad. There are plenty of pregnancy products on the market to help!
With all the pregnancy products designed for pregnancy comfort and survival, how do you know which pregnancy products are really must-haves? We’ve put together a little Twiniversity list of pregnancy products with affiliate links so you can purchase them today!
Maternity Leggings
Comfort is the name of this twin pregnancy game and these maternity yoga pants fit the bill quite nicely. They are built for your growing bump and come in a variety of sizes and colors.
Pants Extender
We’ve all had that pregnancy moment where you pull on your pants for the day and go to button them, only to be met with frustration when they don’t quite reach anymore. With a twin pregnancy, this moment often comes sooner than “normal.” This band comes in 4 sizes and can be worn throughout pregnancy and even after, making it a fan favorite among pregnancy products. Buy it today, BellaBand Pants Extender.
Maternity Jeans
Say what you will about jeans, but every pregnant woman needs a comfortable pair of maternity jeans as her go-to, and these Levi’s will do the trick. Good jeans are a staple among pregnancy products.
Best Support Band
Are you feeling the pressure of your growing twin bump? The back pain can be unreal, but this support band can really help to ease your discomfort.

Breast Therapy Packs
These breast packs are NOT just for nursing moms. They can work wonders for sore breasts throughout pregnancy. You don’t want to suffer needlessly. These and similar pregnancy products can really help alleviate breast soreness, which is incredibly common among pregnant women.
Prenatal Vitamins
PinkStork prenatal vitamins do not contain GMOs, gluten, soy, or dairy. Each bottle contains a heart-shaped ScentCert, so your supplements taste and smell as great as they make you feel! PinkStork is Women-Owned and Women-Run, with over 80% of its employees being women.
Talk to your doctor about iron and folic acid supplements. Most twin pregnancies are advised to take these in addition to a daily prenatal vitamin but check with your doctor before starting anything new.
Belly Oil
Itchy skin and stretch marks are a major pregnancy concern for all moms-to-be, especially twin moms! This oil has a refreshing lavender scent. Try it to combat these uncomfortable symptoms.
Stretch Mark Lotion
Palmer’s is known for their stretch mark lotions and body butter. These pregnancy products are free of mineral oil, parabens, and phthalates. Plus, the smell is amazing and light! This is a great alternative to the Belli Oil (above) if you prefer a lotion product.
Mommee Coffee
Are you missing your morning cup of coffee but worried about the effects of caffeine on your little ones and the effect of the acidity on your heartburn? This low-caffeine, low-acid, fair-trade bag of coffee is sure to do the trick!
Preggie Pops
If morning sickness is ruining your whole day, try these out. They could be the answer to your prayers. This is one of those pregnancy products that more moms swear by than not. Preggie Pops come in a variety of flavors and are gluten-free. They are deemed completely safe for mom and baby.

The Not Just For Pregnancy Products (but still good to have)
Baby Sleeping Sign
Okay, so this might technically be a baby product, but we’re talking pregnancy products. Hear me out. If you hang this sign up on your door during pregnancy, you can take some uninterrupted naps before the babies are here. What pregnant woman couldn’t use an uninterrupted nap?
Instant Pot
Cooking can certainly be fun, just not so much when you’re 6 months pregnant with twins. This doesn’t fall under the category of pregnancy products, per se, but you will be thrilled to have one during your twin pregnancy! Make sure you hang onto it for quick dinners once your twins arrive to save time.

Mini Fan
Pregnancy hot flashes are real, friends. And they often strike when you least expect it. So, it’s best to be prepared at all times with a small portable fan, which just so happens to be a fan favorite among pregnancy products. We like this lightweight fold-able fan here that has 3 different speed settings. It is battery-operated but can also be plugged in with a USB cord in a pinch.

Water Bottle
The importance of hydration cannot be overstated here! We recommend drinking 128 oz a day when you’re pregnant with twins to keep Braxton-Hicks contractions at bay. Getting a large water bottle and having it on hand is a great way to make sure you’re getting enough water. For that reason, large water bottles are probably one of the most critical pregnancy products around. A straw lid is strongly recommended because it will help you to drink more.

Twin pregnancy is hard on your body. Just think about what your body is doing to keep those two little babes safe while growing them. And your body is doing all of this while still functioning on a (somewhat) normal level to keep YOU alive and functioning, too! Sometimes, it seems almost impossible.
No one is trying to pretend that any of these items will make this twin pregnancy EASY by any means. Your body is still performing TWO miracles at once! But these pregnancy products are sure to bring you some comfort and make your twin pregnancy much more bearable!
